I didn't know what to expect from this one, but was pleasantly surprised at the special effects, the sheer will of survival from our lead character and how depressing the ending actually is. It's interesting to see this film after something that I grew up with such as Honey I Shrunk The Kids.
One moment I was devastated for him was when the poor piece of cheese flung away from the rat trap and went down the drain and just then I was thinking to myself, when are we going to see an insect of some sort to come and create a real sense of danger and soon enough a spider crawls into the film. Which had me cringing at the "feeling" of a giant spider crawling over me. Yuck.
Loved the set designs and props and the gradual decrees of his size making things bigger. The chair, the ash tray, the phone, it was funny, but special to see at the same time. I was hoping to get some sort of explanation as to why this happened, what this glitter mist junk was but it the story doesn't seem interested in that aspect, more so the will and determination of one man's survival.
This is a film I probably would never have watched in my lifetime, just because of my awareness of it or interest, so thanks for the nomination...whoever you are.
